Movie Review: DVD release announced!
Summary: 5 Stars

Universal has announced the U.S. DVD release of "Lonely Are the Brave" on July 7th, 2009. Artwork and release information can be found at classicflix.com. Two bonus features included on the disc are:

Glad this film will finally receive its due with this widescreen DVD release, ending the high prices charged by anyone selling the earlier (and inferior) pan-and-scan VHS edition.

Movie Review: RELEASE THIS ON DVD...PLEASE!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I haven't seen this movie for years! I discovered that it was not available on DVD after Netflix didn't offer it. THIS MOVIE NEEDS TO BE RELEASED ON DVD!

Movie Review: Kirk Douglas thought this film was his best
Summary: 5 Stars

'Lonely are the Brave' was the film that Kirk Douglas, himself, regards as his favorite. No, it's not a big Hollywood flash like 'Spartacus' but it is the subtle and tragic rendention of a time and life style already gone. It's a tale of the passing of the old West and the disappearance of men--independent men--who couldn't or wouldn't change.

Douglas--Jack Burns--in the film is a man intolerant of rules, fences and civilization. He's a cowboy with an ideology. His sense of honor is antequated, perhaps, but all the more powerful because of it. In the interest of freedom he makes a series of preventable and deliberate mistakes. He breaks into jail to save an old friend, only to find that his friend doesn't want saving. Burns then breaks out of jail to be pursued across the desert and into the mountains by all the modern police contraptions.

Burns, of course, is doomed by both fate and history and we realize, long before the heartrending conclusion, that he will fail. The old West is gone and, more importantly, modern mass society crushes anyone truly independent. We weep for Burns the same as we weep for ourselves.

Ron Braithwaite, author of novels--"Skull Rack" and "Hummingbird God"--on the Spanish Conquest of Mexico

Movie Review: This film made an impression on a twelve-year old
Summary: 5 Stars

I was twelve-years old when this film came out.I remember riding my bicycle to Santa Monica(from Malibu)one Saturday.I was under the impression that it was a traditional western starring Kirk Douglas.I was mistaken.It is anything but a "traditional"western.It's really about a cowboy who is a misfit.He's living in a time where there are too many fences(boundaries)and he just can't reconcile with this situation.Kirk Douglas gives a fine performance(as does the lovely Gena Rowlands),but the "scene-stealer"is the curmudgeon of a sheriff(Walter Mathau).William Schallert is great as his deputy.He drives the sheriff a bit crazy by constantly replying"RIGHT"!The music(score)is excellent(Jerry Goldsmith).

Movie Review: Why oh why is there no DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

I first saw this movie in a theater when it was released and I was 16 years old. My brother and I stayed through a second showing (you could do that then) and went back to see it at least a couple more times while it was playing. It became and still is one of my all time favorite movies.
When I was 16 I loved it for the action and the humor ( Walter Mathau's play by play of the dog wandering down main street). As I got older the more serious themes only made me love it more.

WHERE IS THE DVD? ...please,please,please
